Alexandra’s Story: Choosing to see the beauty in life

Looking at Alexandra DeBourcy, you would never guess that she has a single health concern, especially anything as serious as epilepsy, unless you happen to see the MedicAlert ID on her wrist.

You would never know the 34-year-old former advertising executive once woke up from a seizure unable to remember the name of the current president. Her teeth may look perfect, but that’s because the Mrs. New York pageant winner broke her natural set in a fall during another seizure. Since the age of 5, Alexandra has been tackling many different challenges associated with epilepsy.
